It’s hard to know because there can be many ways to make money indirectly or in time delayed ways. Who knows how much his friends and family are profiting. Each time there is some wild swing one way and then the other on tariffs, I am pretty sure someone is making a lot of money off that. Meanwhile the rest of us are taken for a ride of uncertainty.
Did you read the article? The whole thing is about how to actually calculate it, while being conservative through uncertainties. The answer: $3.4 billion.

Guess I'd argue the the president of the United States taking bribes falls under the "interesting new phenomenon". Maybe people will say it's not new (?), but this level and this blatant certainly is. Not interesting? Well, people can disagree, but I think it is.
That argument can be made for lots of posts that never come close to being flagged. Hulk Hogans death as just one instance but there's hourly examples.
Not everyone, but lot of those flagging like/voted for Trump but don't want peers sneering at him (and them). Embarrassment is a powerful motivator.
After 4 years of pretending that Hunter Biden was an expert on the gas industry and not peddling influence and access, what authority is retained to comment on these matters?
How can this be reliable, audited, and free from corruption? Anyone associated with this Admin is getting a cut either straight up (which we won't know until the full four years are over since they won't allow investigation), or discounts. They've already made AMD and NVIDIA give a cut of sales (which is crazy). It's all just too much money for them not to be thieving.
The piece might have broadened the scope a bit to remind people of Hunter Bidens escapades, I.e. the $500k no show Ukrainian gas job. Without such information it seems like personal enrichment is something new.
